ROFL :laydownlaughing No one would've noticed if she hadn't laughed midway. Funny.

Maybe I'm a little dense because I did not get it.

I wouldn't feel right explaining it to you but use your imagination ;) She said "I'm good from behind" and then gasped in embarrassment at what she just said.

The #15 seed (Keys) is bounced out in 3 by the Asian upstart. This little chick who never won a slam match before is on fire. Vika or Kerbie better watch out. She looks determined to find her way to the final.

This match aired a little too late for my comfort. Did anyone see the match? Is Zhang an up and comer or is she on a one-time roll?

I tend to feel it is a one-time roll. She benefitted from lack of fitness of Keys.

But, we now have a quarterfinal between Zhang and Konta, both unseeded. So, it is ensured that there will be a unseeded player in the semifinals.

In this quarter, the projected quarterfinal match is between Simona and Venus. It is only fitting that the actual quarterfinal match is between Zhang (who took out Simona) and Konta (who took out Venus). It is not that easy to win three more matches after creating an earthshaking upset.

So true. I've grown very tired of the disappearing act by upsetters after an epic match and these two have continued to fight.:clap

the biggest threat is Konta...she seems very solid on hardcourts and doesnt panic.I wont be surprised to see her in the final..

Why is she arrogant? She seemed genuinely happy for Angie.

where was she arrogant..:rolleyes:...she still has 20 slams more than Kerber.I think Serena is very vulnerable since her loss in NY...she has lost that fire...reminds me of 2004 when she was losing a lot.
